ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: DGRI)
today updated shareholders on recent progress towards executing its
previously announced four step strategy focused on increasing shareholder
value.

Daniel Hollis, CEO of Dutch Gold Resources, stated, "We continue to make
progress on the acquisition front as well as the expansion of our current
asset base. We expect our previously commissioned NI 43-101 will be ready
for release prior to Labor Day and we have made positive progress towards
the closing of the Aultra Gold, Inc. (OTCBB: AGDI) transaction. In
addition, we have recently concluded due diligence on several Nevada
properties. We anticipate concluding additional property acquisitions this
quarter."

Mr. Hollis further stated, "We continue to work diligently with the Aultra
Gold management team in anticipation of the consummation of our previously
announced combination. Together we intend to file an Information Statement
with the Securities Exchange Commission this month in anticipation of
shareholder approval. The transaction, scheduled to close in mid-September,
is expected allow the combined company to trade on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board (OTCBB)."

Mr. Rauno Perttu, CEO of Aultra Gold, Inc. commented on the results of
property due diligence, "While we have jointly decided to pass on the Long
Canyon projects, the Companies are quite enthusiastic about a number of
Nevada opportunities that we hope to bring to conclusion in the next sixty
days. As a result of the financing challenges facing many junior gold
explorers, we continue to gain access to some uniquely high potential
projects that we believe have substantial upside development possibilities.
Lastly, we are cautiously optimistic that the Basin Gulch update will be
positive and that we can begin additional exploration and development work
this fall."
